Top Santa Barbara Art Foundry Hotel Reviews

Lavender Inn by the Sea

10/10 Excellent

"Good location, good service. Easy access to beach n town."

Beachside Inn

8/10 Good

"The place was nice.. Location was really close to most things. You could walk to the beach-across the street… The only bummer is a eye contact stuck to the night stand.. They serve you the typical motel breakfast .. So I gave it 4 stars just cause I wish they spent a minute making sure every spot in the room was clean. Didn’t like the contact. I saved a long time for this trip… they should see small details…"

La Playa Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I like the decor. How clean it was. All and all it was a beautiful place to stay. I would recommend it to friends and family."

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel. Helpful staff."

ITH Santa Barbara Surf Hostel

8/10 Good

"It was like reliving my younger years. Very cool place, definitely for the young at heart. The only thing I will suggest, on summer days, is a better fan. I took showers at night and early morning because I was sweating. Other than that very clean and happy place."

Brisas del Mar, Inn at the Beach

8/10 Good

"Suite was spacious and clean, neighbourhood fairly quiet."

"Great location, super clean and comfortable.. will return again when in town!!"

Harbor View Inn

8/10 Good

"I was not aware that there is a separate building a block away from the hotel, lobby, pool and all amenities. It is not on the property so you have no lobby there and nothing is convenient. The room was beautiful and new but I would have liked to know that we weren’t on property"
